OK, I destroyed and recreated the VM, now the installer launches with 
this very config. Please note that UEFI loader doesn't work, it angs
Now I run into the infamous XFS problem...

The text installer doesn't allow to choose the filesystem type. And VNC 
won't launch (network not activated)

I'm lost and don't want to install another Linux, I've to install a RPM 
based appliance...

Googled 3 hours with no success.

Any idea ?

Thanks,

Xavier
